Symptom #4: Fever
If there is an infection in any part of our body, it can present a very real threat to our health and even to our life. Fortunately, our immune system is able to handle most small infections by raising a fever, which will help to kill off the pathogen. A fever will also be used to help deal with a more serious infection, such as a brain infection.
Encephalitis will usually cause a fever to appear in the early stages of the disease, also called the prodromal phase. If you are suffering from this symptom in association with other symptoms related to encephalitis, you should seek medical attention for proper diagnosis.
